From November 23^rd, the first MidTerm exams for the 2020/2021 academic year have begun for students of the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism. The exams continue until November 27^th (incl.).

It is advisable to choose a certain form of testing the knowledge, skills and abilities of students for systematic control over the achievement of mandatory learning outcomes during the educational process. Mandatory learning outcomes are the minimum required for further education, meeting the program requirements for the level of training of students.

Therefore, when checking and giving marks for a teacher, it is fundamentally important to get a definite answer: whether or not the student has mastered the knowledge and skills that are being formed at the mandatory level. The goal of each teacher is to ensure that each student has mastered the most important knowledge and skills for further successful study. If a student does not receive a MidTerm grade, it is necessary to organize the revision of the material and its re-examination.

World Children's Day is widely celebrated annually on November 20. In 1954, the UN General Assembly recommended that all countries accept this date as children’s day and create a prosperous life for them in all corners of the world.

On this occasion, the “Silk Road” International Tourism University held a charity event. So, adhering to the established quarantine measures, a volunteer group of 6 people was assembled, the main task of which was to visit the Samarkand Orphanage No. 1, located on the Dahbed street. Previously, thanks to the efforts and good nature of all employees of the university, a sufficient amount of funds was collected, which subsequently acquired the necessary warm hats and scarves for the children of the orphanage. Before visiting the orphanage, the volunteers had an amazing meeting with a such good-natured person - Kamariddinov Dilshod, who donated most of the gifts (more than 80 pieces) to the children of the orphanage.

Arriving at the orphanage No. 1, the volunteers were greeted by director Mavjuda Farkhodovna, who invited the guests to the hall full of children. The Chairman of the Women’s Council of the University M.Abbasova, and the Head of the Youth policy Department U.Tuygunov sent their warm wishes and congratulations to the children. Also, representatives of the university expressed their readiness to conduct an excursion over the university smart-campus for the children of the orphanage.

Today is a historic day, therefore, a solemn event dedicated to the 29th anniversary of the adoption of the “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan” law was held at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism.

In his congratulatory speech the first vice-rector of the university J.D. Eltazarov noted that “The flag is a symbol of independence” and “You, youth are our future! I wish all your achievements were achieved on our sacred land, under the symbol of our nation - the State Flag of the Motherland”. The warm congratulations of the Dean of the Faculty of “Tourism Management” Slawomir Wroblewski, who proudly noted that “Where the flag flies freely, peace always reigns” were met with incredible applause from the event participants.

The event was also attended by students with congratulatory speeches in the state and international (Russian, English and Chinese) languages.

On November 18, 1991, our country adopted the Law “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan”. In particular, it states that the national flag is a symbol of state sovereignty.

Every color and symbol on the National Flag carries a deep meaning. They personify the noble ideas of the centuries-old national statehood, natural, national and spiritual characteristics of the country. The Law “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan” defines the color-schematic procedure for the image and installation of this national symbol.

Blue is a symbol of clear sky and water. White as a symbol of peace and purity opens the way for the noble aspirations of the people of Uzbekistan. Green symbolizes renewal and youth, embodies the picturesque nature of the region. Red stripes - blood flowing in the veins of people, reminiscent of freedom-loving ancestors, a symbol of vital power and eternity. A young crescent means peace and tranquillity reigning in the country, as well as a new era in the history of the state. Twelve stars are a symbol of a clear, cloudless sky, perfection, wisdom. 

Respect for the National Flag and its veneration, created on the basis of historical values, symbolizing the past, present and future, is the sacred duty of every citizen.

In accordance with the decision of the Republican Commission dated November 12, 2020, in order to gradually switch to the traditional education system, the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism opened its doors to freshmen on November 16.

According to this decision, higher educational institutions should switch to the traditional education system, based on their own capabilities and in order to create favourable conditions for students. It is reported that students, depending on their capabilities and social status (pregnant, nursing and mothers with under 3 y.o. children; with a difficult social situation) can remain in the online form of education.

We note that the requirements for the timely completion of all assignments submitted by teachers on the MS Teams platform remain for students who studying online. In addition, students are required to ensure strict attendance at the MidTerm and Final Exams, which will also be conducted online.

Students who want to remain online should write an application addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Tourism Management - Dr. Slawomir Wroblewski, indicating all the reasons why the student will not be able to study in the traditional form (including medical certificates - if it necessary).

For 2^nd and 3^rd courses of the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism traditional education system is planned to begin on November 23^rd.

Please observe all precautions during the learning process. Dear students, first of all, a health is in your hands! Be vigilant in the fight against COVID-19!
